/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "One may only welcome the statement of the Great
Eight countries on maintenance of the mediation efforts of the OSCE
Minsk Group and on necessity of coordination of the core principles
of the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," stated
NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan, when commenting on statements made during
G8 summit in St.

Petersburg. In his words, Nagorno Karabakh has always advocated
peaceful resolution of the problem and is ready to exert every effort
to come to agreement over establishing long-term peace in the region.

Unfortunately, not everything depends on the mediators. Considering
Azerbaijan’s extremely destructive position and its unwillingness
to be in any contact with Nagorno Karabakh it is very difficult to
find an acceptable and fair solution to date, the Minister said. In
his words, the President of the Russian Federation has fairly noted
that Russia is not going to impose any solutions on the parties to the
conflict and that the compromise must be reached by people. Taking into
account the Russian Federation’s readiness to become a guarantor of
fulfillment of the agreements, we remind once more that the achievement
of solutions, directly concerning the future of our country and our
people, is possible only with participation of representatives of
legally elected authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the
main and the most suffered party to the conflict," reports IA Regnum.
